About This Show

AI-drafted summary

The ICCFA Experience (formerly the Annual Convention & Exposition) is the flagship event of the International Cemetery, Cremation & Funeral Association, described as the only international trade association representing all segments of the cemetery, funeral service, cremation and memorialization profession. The event combines education, networking and a large supplier expo hall under one roof.

The 2027 edition heads to Denver, Colorado, April 14–16, 2027, at the Colorado Convention Center. Attendees include cemetery, funeral home and crematory owners, managers and staff, along with suppliers and related businesses from across the profession worldwide. ICCFA represents more than 10,000 members, making the Experience one of the sector's premier gatherings.

It is worth attending for its concentrated combination of professional education, legislative and legal guidance, and direct access to industry suppliers. The expo hall is built for connection, with education sessions running throughout the hall to drive traffic and dedicated lunch hours reserved for exhibitor–attendee networking, giving buyers and decision-makers meaningful face time with vendors.

Show Highlights

  • A large supplier Expo Hall with roughly 12 hours of dedicated exhibiting time so vendors have buyers' undivided attention.

  • Dedicated lunch hours built in for uninterrupted networking between exhibitors and attendees.
  • The President's Welcome Reception, open to all attendees and exhibitors, featuring hors d'oeuvres and an open bar.
  • The President's Banquet, a separately ticketed evening event following the reception.

Attendees are primarily cemetery, funeral service and cremation professionals, along with suppliers and related businesses.

  2. Log in or create an ICCFA account; members should log in for member pricing.
  3. Complete registration and purchase any ticketed add-ons, such as the President's Banquet, at the time of registration, as tickets are limited and can sell out.

History

ICCFA traces its roots to 1887, when it was founded as the Association of American Cemetery Superintendents by a group of 18 cemeterians seeking to improve the appearance and operations of their properties. For its first century it remained a national, cemetery-only organization, growing in size and mission through several name changes. In 1996 it became the International Cemetery and Funeral Association, expanding membership to funeral homes and related businesses and extending its reach beyond U.S. borders. In 2007, "Cremation" was added to the name to better reflect the profession. The association's marquee gathering, long known as the Annual Convention & Exposition, has since been rebranded the ICCFA Experience, rotating among major U.S. cities including Kansas City (2023), Tampa (2024), Las Vegas (2025) and Fort Worth (2026), with Denver hosting in 2027.
